"Efrat Alony has received the Opus Klassik award as well as the German Jazz Prize and has lived in Berlin for many years. "I can explore my entire range here," says the Israeli-German singer.
Swiss composer Martin Streule has created fascinating spheres for Efrat Alony's new album. "Chamber Scenes" doesn't feature chamber music, but rather expansive orchestral soundscapes. There, Efrat Alony's voice can truly unfold, reaching dark depths and dizzying heights..
.
...One of the lyrics on "Chamber Scenes" is about finding one's way back to love from thoughts of isolation and abandonment, saying: "wrong thoughts will be reharmonized."
Can false thoughts be harmonized through music?
This applies to art in general; it's the reason why art is so great, because it allows us to experience things from different perspectives and perhaps reframe our thoughts." Efrat Alony
